I think many of you know that this is a very difficult time of year for me, so what I try to do is make sure that I’m working during this time. All I wanted to do was shoot a great film and try to keep my mind off the holiday grief that I have been experiencing for the past two years. I could not have imagined I’d be getting all these emails about Kim Kardashian. I HAVE SEEN THEM!! YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD!! …LOL. Now, may I say something? Can a brother get a word in?….LOL. Y’all gave me a new movie title, Tyler Perry’s “Diary of a Mad Black Woman Cause You Hired Kim Kardashian, Don’t Make Me Take Off My Earrings and Boycott Yo A**.”…LOL. Some of my ladies are upset. Ok, all jokes aside, can I have my say? Will you at least here me out?

After I finished writing this movie, I sat back and re-read it. Half way through my read, the gravity of what I had written hit me. I knew that this message was not only for my age group, but for all audiences, especially the youth. ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH!! YOUNG FOLKS NEED TO SEE THIS!!! And not just the young people that follow me, but the young people that are following other young people, as well. I wanted a younger cast, that’s why I put Jurnee in the lead and invited Lance Gross, Robbie Jones and Brandy. About two months ago, long before I even heard about Kim’s marriage or divorce, I was trying to finish up the casting. I said to one of my producers, “who else is out there that young people are looking up to?” One of my producers showed me pictures that his daughter had taken of several hundred kids lined up around the corner to get into a Kardashian store. They wanted to meet Kim. I thought, what better person! She literally has millions of young people following her.

I thought and still do think, that it would be very responsible of her to be a part of this film. To have the young people that look up to her, see her in a film that is about, what happens in life when you make the wrong choices. Whether you’re aware of it or not, to be honest with you I wasn’t, millions of young people adore her and are following her every move. If one of those young people see this film and find the strength to live a better life and not go through what these characters went through in this movie, then we have all done what I feel I’m being led to do here. I hope you understand. I really do!

And lastly, because I believe that my films speak from the inside out, why wouldn’t Kim Kardashian be invited into a film about Faith, Forgiveness and the healing power of God? What is wrong with that??

I think if Tyler Perry continues to do inspirational movies, he should choose inspirational people. Although it is hard to do so with celebrities now days because it seems like their fame can only be found after they deliver the world sex tapes; however, there are some talented women that have self-respect enough that deserve the role. I feel like hiring a person with the lack of morals that Kim displays, is selling the Tyler Perry industry short. Come on Mr. Perry, its not always about who is hot for the moment even though I know it may seem like a great way to boost ratings. Actually, with all of Kim’s negative publicity, I have a feeling it may hurt the movie’s potential ratings. Remember the values in which you began your career, honoring God, not man. Don’t cast your pearls to the swine because they will only trample them under their feet, and don’t be conformed to the things of this world, but be transformed through the renewing of your mind. Which life do you truly want to be honored in, this on or the next? You have given some wonderful messages, and even at times they helped a young Christian woman like myself, but I must say Kim needs to get herself right before you try to give any inspirational message through her.

If Tyler Perry put this whore in his film(s) i will throw all the movies i have of his in the trash, and i have more movies he made than any other producer in my house. if he put’s this trash ass bitch in his movie, i am done. There is a zillion women out there that have taken drama classes, study the act and looking for jobs, but because she wants to fuck every black man that will have her trashes ass, oh now Tyler wants to add to the list and put her in the movies, give me a break. He don’t need her to make money so why give this bitch anymore. You are telling her it’s ok for her to be a slut and her sisters too. The two younger ones, want to be just like her, really. None on them don’t have class, and neither does the mother. Her and her husband look like the opposite sex.
